similar to: Accessing datetime_select value

Is there a way to make datetime_select() dropdowns work on a 12hr clock? I need to make a input field that works exactly like the reminders datetime selecton dropdowns in Backpack to populate a datetime field in my DB. i.e in the format: month, day, year ? hour (1-12) minute am/pm. Should I change my database to have a separate column for date and one for time and use date_select()? Can

ok so datetime_select if you use the discard options say { :discard_month => true } when you just do update_attributes on said object year would be correct month would be the hour date would be the minute so if you select year: 2005 hour: 12 minute: 13 the time object would go into the db as: ''2005-12-13 00:00:00'' so my question is how do i get the time object properly

Hi All In my project I am to take date of birth from user so I used datetime_select. It renders three selection boxes, year, month and day. But I want order as day, month and year. I added :order option for datetime_select, it renders normal selection boxes with order year, month and day. Why :order does not work with datetime_select? see my following code <%= datetime_select(:user2,

the date_select form helper has a neat little feature which lets you specify the order of the month/day/year that is displayed on the form via the :order parameter. i.e. <%= date_select ''blah'', ''somedate'', :order=>[ :month, :day, :year ] %> however, i don''t see a similar option for datetime_select. passing an :order parameter is happily

Hello, I am trying to deal with a database table that contains a date in the form of the number of seconds since epoch. Data is inserted in this format by an existing script that I can''t change, so a schema change isn''t realistic. I would like to allow humans to view and edit this data in the form of an actual human-readable date. I figured a facade column would be the

by default datetime_select allows the user to input any date and time they want. Is there a way it can only allow a user to select an hour between 8AM and 6PM and only allow them to choose the top of the hour (:00) and the half hour (:30) for the minute? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on

Hello It seems that datetime_select, is creating an instance of the Time class. Why would that be? I found this while building a site where people can create vigils (prayer vigils, peace vigils, etc). When I added a validation method that compared start_date to created_at, it generated the error: ArgumentError (comparison of Time with DateTime failed): I was able to put a breakpoint in the

Hi everyone! I just started learning Ruby on Rails about a week ago for a school project, and can''t seem to find a solution for something.

Does anyone have a good example or know of some documentation about how to implement "Edit in Place" using Rails 1.1? Like the functionality in Flickr... I''ve googled and googled and can''t find any good documentation. Maybe it''s because 1.1 is so new? Thanks in advance. -Andy

Hello all, I have a form with a datetime_select. I need to use the actual time selected in an action triggered by observe_field. Could make it work with other select fields, but not with datetime_select. Seems that observe_field can locate the element just by the id (not by the name). If so, how can I set the ID of datetime_select ??? I''m in this for some hours, but could not find a

Hello, apologies if this has a trivial solution but after rumaging around google for a while I haven''t found one.
